This is of course a well-known subconscious psychological response to the unavailability of any object of desire, hh. Deep inside you already knew that you'd run out of the wherewithal, so a niggling little desire for the dish containing it was cunningly triggered, just to wind you up. Such is life.

I know I posted this unusual use for beetroot the last time we were discussing them, but it's worth repeating   If this happens every time, I can see I am going to have to start cooking a lot more with beetroot. Lucky I planted some this year....... Tommo |

So I think I'm going to do with egg noodles instead. What could go wrong?
Nothing did go wrong. It was a bit of a strange taste-combination but certainly tasty. This is of course a well-known subconscious psychological response to the unavailability of any object of desire, hh. Deep inside you already knew that you'd run out of the wherewithal, so a niggling little desire for the dish containing it was cunningly triggered, just to wind you up. Such is life.
There's possibly a connection with Andy's beetroot post but I can't quite seem to lay my hand upon it... |

I'm on strike now. Had enough for today.  They're having pizza and chips. I hate pizza but I'll have some salad or something. |

I've only just got in from a concert and I'm not feeling like socialising so I've grabbed one of those 'Indian meals for 2' from the supermarket. I'm feeling hungry so I'll see how much I can eat, and the rest will go into the fridge.
It's lazy and I dread to think how much hormones have been pumped into this chicken I'm about to eat (poor little bugler) but I'm hungry and even though I'll regret eating it (I'll be thinking how much better my own curry is...), it looks totally nommable right now.

A breakthrough in the Green Gables kitchen! No longer shall I debauch my system with Waitrose pizzas, for today I have branched out and moved on. To... An Asda pizza.   |

George, I am deeply envious! I haven't seen any at all so far A bit cruel since I am a major Fan of the Filbert Did you get them in Snorban's Market? I will give you a thousand milk white racing camels and their daughters for any information  Even now I can hear the taunting sound of busy nutcrackers carried on the wind that drifts from Snorbans. Sob. |

Don't build them up too much in your head as a desirable object - you might end up disapointing yourself when you find them..
I'm just saying this because of a pointlessly protracted journey I had about 3 years ago to find edamame in pods. The other half had some at a restaurant one time and raved about how good they were so much that I decided to go on a quest while I was in London. I ended up going to Putney via tube and a scary pedestrian bridge over the Thames to a Chinese supermarket that I'd tracked down on the net. I bought 4 bags of the damn things, hauled them back through Putney, back to KC on the tube and then back to Lincoln on the train.
The other half was fairly bewildered at the effort I'd put in (I was expecting leaping joy and eternal gratitude of course) - then I think we had some about twice and they've been languishing in my freezer ever since. Of course now you can get the blasted things from Asda (podless but still edamame.)
Grump.

Trouble is Rubes, I do really and truly adore filberts, also known as cob nuts. Especially when they still fresh and green. As they will be now. Such a special treat.<weeping and wailing heard in Norf Lunnun> Blimey, you didn't walk over the rail bridge in Putney, did you?  |

Edamame beans. Now, there's a thing. I'm not sure I've ever bought any, but if your local Waitrose stocks its own edamame and adzuki bean salad, as mine does, do not hesitate to buy some. Simply delicious, with soy sauce and wasabi. Ooh, and I just discovered this serving suggestion - crisped gnocchi with edamames! NOM  |

My brain insists on reading Edamame as Endgame. I'm going to end up walking into Waitrose and asking for Pinter beans at this rate  |
